Field notes

The archive identifies techniques, source traditions, tools, makers, dates, and locations rather than presenting unlabeled craft photographs. Documented objects include a Sniatyn-style vyshyvanka, Kihnu-inspired knitted mitts, a Quebec-made antique spinning wheel in use, and a kannel strap for a Baltic psaltery. The homepage also links to teaching and dates, indicating activity beyond the image collection, although those sections are not represented in the available extract.
